I made berry crisp for breakfast this morning. I cut up rhubarb from the garden, and then strawberries and blueberries from the grocery store. I added a half tablespoon of sugar and cornstarch.
I topped it with oats, whole wheat flour, butter, brown sugar, and some salt. I didn’t add a lot of butter and it was still delicious. The calorie count for one was 520 calories. It was really nice with black coffee.
I snacked on cherries and a couple of chocolate crackers and had a salad with avocado for lunch. My spouse wanted to surprise me with dessert today.
He spent all day making me coconut cream pie (I had mentioned I had been craving it) and I had a really big piece.
Dinner was a portabello burger (the mushroom cap was the burger patty) from Hello Fresh with a side salad.
I overdid the calories again today.

Sunday is supposed to be the only day I go over 1800 calories. I didn’t do very well this week. My average daily calorie intake was 2141 a day, but I was down a pound. Monday morning I was just a hair under 176lbs.

Wait – coconut cream pie is less calories than a salad?? But man, that pie looks good! He did a great job! Baking is dangerous (fat wise), lol.

I don’t know how many calories it was so I googled how many calories in a coconut cream pie. I’m hoping these numbers are correct, but sometimes I don’t know for sure. It was so so good! I took the rest to work and it was gone by the end of the day lol. That’s one of our new things. Bake something Sunday and take the rest to work on Monday.

Good idea to take it to work. People do that here, too, and then I end up eating it, lol. There are apps you can get that keep calorie counts for you. I had one for a while. It was a free app. I forget what it was called. It had calories in there for a lot of foods, and anything not there you can add.
